Chapter 9: Home, Cold Home.

Sakura walked outside looking at the cherry blossoms. Sitting down, she thought about how school was almost coming and…HOMEWORK!

Sakura ran home as fast as she could, trying to finish her homework.

Sighing, Sakura looked at the time. She was suppose to be visiting Syaoran today but she couldn't because of the work she did.

Downstairs, she heard yelling.

"DON'T COME!"

"BUT I HAVE TO GIVE SAKURA SOMETHING!"

"SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED BRAT!"

Sakura smiled, realizing it was Syaoran. Running downstairs, she threw her arms around him while he blushing.

"TOYA! You shouldn't treat Syaoran that way!" Sakura grumbled. "He's our guest!"

"It's okay Sakura." Syaoran said, rubbing the back of his head.

Sakura smiled. Behind her, Toya glared at Syaoran and Syaoran glared at him. Sparks flew and exploded. Sakura dragged Syaoran up to her room and sat down.

"What do you need Syaoran-kun?" Sakura said.

"Uhh….I wanted to say hi to you. Do you need help with anything?" Syaoran said, smiling kindly.

"Just with a little math…" said Sakura, sadly.

"I can help you." Syaoran said.

"Thanks Syaoran." Sakura said smiling.

One hour later, Sakura and Syaoran headed downstairs for a snack and noticed that Toya was frozen in place!

"B-big brother?" Sakura said stamppering. "What's wrong?"

Syaoran looked a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, snowflakes swirled around and he was too frozen, but half as much as Toya.

"KIRU!" Sakura said. Taking out her Star Wand, she released it and called,

"FIRE!"

The room then became hot and Toya and Syaoran clasped in exhaustion.

"Sakura…the air vent." Toya mumbled.

Sakura nodded.

"SMALL!" She shouted.

Climbing into the air vent, she uncovered the many secrets of the vent.

"AH!" Sakura cried as a spider twice the size of her scrambled past her. A huge dust ball the size of her house suddenly began moving towards her as Sakura ran for her life. Panting, Sakura saw a huge rock, glowing with ice.

Sakura touched the stone as it became small. An image appeared in front of her.

"You think that is easy?" The voice said. "It's not as easy as you think!"

A huge beast the size of a high school appeared as Sakura stood there, gaping.

"FIRE!" She said.

The beast dodged and Sakura noticed a weak spot beside his eyes, it glowing in white light.

"ARROW!" Sakura said trying to hit the spot.

The beast attacked her causing her to lose her balance and fall. Sakura scrapped her knees and found herself unable to move!

"HELP" Sakura cried.

The cards glowed, causing a barrier but Sakura still found herself unable to move.

"Help me…please."

Sakura blacked out for what seemed like the 2nd time that week.

A few hours later, Sakura found herself back in her house. Suddenly, the card HOPE appeared, whispering to Sakura.

"SAKURA! Someone has taken the cards!"

Sakura stood in shook. It couldn't be the girl who stole it.

"NO! THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE!" Sakura said shouting angrily.

"NOOOOO MY CARDS!?"

"Suddenly, the HOPE card disappeared as well.

Sakura clasped, crying.

"What? Who would do this?" Sakura said weeping. Looking everywhere, she saw everybody. Syaoran and Toya weak. Her cards gone.

"Today, a new world has been created." A news reporter said. "He goes by the name of Kai. Do you have anything to say to yourself?"

A boy with green eyes and yellow hair laughed.

"Of course Jill! I would like to say, THANK YOU Sakura for helping me. These have definitely have gone in handy!"

Sakura stared in shook. It all made sense, the way Kai smiled, the times Kiru have attacked, his eyes, as if he needed something.

"How could he do this to me?" Sakura said. "I thought we were friends."

Sakura looked as the news reporter went on.

"A portal has been leading to this new world. Kiru calls it, the world of dreams! My my, I should go there later!" the reporter said in excitement. "Is there a payment sir?"

Kai laughed.

"Of course there is no payment! But going in there. Costs the rest of your life."

I have to say I'm so sorry. This chapter was probably the shortest of all of them. I've been writing for about 5 hours this week so I'm pretty exhausted. The narrator did nothing except yell at me for not finishing faster. Anyway, we have reached 1000 views! Thank you do much everyone! The specials are coming!

Sincerely, Kimi Li and the annoying Narrator.
